Quote'RUA' – New GAA children's mascot launched
12 December 2006
New Mayo football Manager John O'Mahony helped launch the new children's GAA mascot. A soft toy with a difference, RUA is a uniquely Irish and official GAA product that is available decked out in county specific colours and is available on www.thegaastore.com.
The soft toy will appeal to all GAA fans and in particular will give children a fun GAA figure that they can use as their county mascot and relate to in the early years of supporting their county!
They can be purchased in the colours of each of the 32 counties and you can view all the different RUA on www.thegaastore.com
As an Official GAA product, royalties from each sale of Rua will help fund the preparation of County teams.
This exciting new product appeared on the Late Late Show Toy Show 2006 and is being produced, marketed and distributed by Sports Merchandising Ireland Ltd., an official supplier of licensed products to the GAA. Expected to be one of the top toy products of this Christmas season, RUA will be available in all major toy stores including Smyth's Toys, World of Wonder and Toymaster as well as www.theGAAstore.com and most independent toy and sports stores country wide.

Gooch was actually nicknamed because of his resemblance to some rag doll on free state tv (or so I've been told anyway).
